The slow, orderly, and graceful movements of Chen Siyuan's creations made one feel as if they were in a fairyland, where the view was indistinct.
Chen Siyuan held one of the cups of tea in both hands and presented it to the Fifth Prince of Chen, tilting her head slightly and revealing a faint smile, "Young Master Ruoli, would you like to try it?"
Chunlan and Chunping were shocked. When did the young mistress learn to brew tea? Having served her for so many years, they had no idea that she had such a skill.
Look, look, and you'll see their pride from the bottom of their hearts.
In comparison, he felt that the young mistress was superior to the other party.
Thinking about it, I looked at the teacups on the table; each one was so beautiful.
If there weren't outsiders present, they would have liked to take a sip and try it too.
Just then, Chen Siyuan brought two cups of tea to them and asked, "Would you like to try some?"
The two maids were extremely excited and quickly held it up with both hands.
"It'll get cold if you don't drink it soon," Chen Siyuan reminded her from the side.
Making tea was secondary; her real intention was to diminish someone's sense of superiority.
Even if she were truly poisoned, which meant the person was really capable, she wouldn't give them the chance to make exorbitant demands.
At crucial moments, she doesn't give others the opportunity to blackmail her.
Actually, she thought a lot on the way here.
In his previous life, he had no real grudge against the fifth prince of Chen. He was simply used by others to take advantage of the tense situation between the two countries and was forced to be beheaded.
Thinking about this, and considering that this person is quite knowledgeable right now, things are better for the time being, which isn't a bad thing.
After finishing his tea, the fifth prince of Chen looked at the woman sitting opposite him. He had investigated this woman and knew about her connection to the Ghost Pearl.
This woman is truly an enigma.
At that moment, sunlight streamed in through the window and fell on her face.
Ruoli was startled; she was indeed beautiful, no wonder those two men were so captivated.
Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman!
Chen Siyuan let the other person look her over. She knew that the people of Chen Kingdom loved tea very much, and that the art of Kung Fu tea originated from Chen Kingdom.
In my past life, I didn't know what to learn for a while, so I simply learned this, and it just so happens to come in handy today.
Looking at the man before her, his two purple eyes, like wine, radiated a dazzling and alluring beauty that intoxicated her without her even realizing it.
Chen Siyuan's heart trembled slightly. In her previous life, she died in this person's letter, and now they were actually sitting together drinking tea.
Thinking about it, she glanced at the servant beside her. This man was a genuine Shang citizen, without the deep features of the Chen people. From the moment these two appeared, she knew that this might be Ruoli's final destination.
Those around him who use the Shang Kingdom's resources will not reveal any difference in his appearance.
Wearing a straw hat is fashionable now, which gives him a perfect opportunity.
If he really goes out, I believe that if he wears a straw hat, no one will notice that he is different.
No wonder he is so favored by the King of Chen. Despite looking different from the people of Shang, he swaggered into Shang and appeared in the bustling crowd.
Apart from the tea set in front of them, everything else was quite ordinary. It was hard to guess the other person's true identity.
Hidden in plain sight.
Ruoli's cooking was really delicious.
It's unknown how many important messages from the Shang Kingdom were leaked from Ruoli's hands.
"Ha! What is Miss Chen trying to glean from me?"
Chen Siyuan withdrew her gaze and asked, "How does it taste?" She then steered the conversation towards tea tasting, avoiding the sensitive topic.
"Miss Chen has learned a lot."
"It's alright, just a way to pass the time when I'm bored." Chen Siyuan wondered what she really meant to Ruoli.
How confident is this person to openly show his true face in front of me?
"Miss Chen is too kind." Ruoli looked at Chen Siyuan, her eyes changing slightly, becoming aggressive as she sized her up and down.
It carried a hint of recklessness and a touch of frivolity.
Chen Siyuan frowned slightly but remained silent, waiting quietly.
The person's identity has been confirmed; they don't seem to be an imposter. It might not be a good thing for them to speak up now.
Besides, she had heard that Ruoli had a bad temper, and she didn't want to easily step on a landmine.
Ruoli was tall and somewhat thin. He sat casually in the simple place, his legs slightly bent, holding his teacup in a relaxed manner, exuding an indescribable ghostly aura.
Yes, it's Devil May Cry.
It was both eerie and ferocious.
“You told me the method to remove the ghost bead last time, and I tried it. It really worked. Consider that a favor I owe you. Today I’m returning that favor.”
"Alright." Chen Siyuan tilted her head slightly and curled the corners of her lips.
Ruoli twirled the teacup in her hand with her slender fingers, then suddenly looked up at Chen Siyuan and laughed, "You're about to die!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Chunlan and Chunping's expressions changed.
Chen Siyuan laughed at that moment. "Is it because of this?" she said, deliberately showing off the jade bracelet on her wrist.
After learning the secret of the trip to Ping'an Temple, Chen Siyuan knew that someone wanted to kill her.
When she first received the reward, she felt something was amiss, but now that she knows why, she roughly understands.
The Empress Dowager gave her two items: a jade bracelet and a waist pendant.
It's unlikely that the waist tag was fake, and they wouldn't dare to tamper with it.
Each palace had a different waist tag, and the Empress Dowager was clearly not afraid of others knowing when she gave out her own.
Right now, the General's Mansion holds military power. Even though she has just married into the family, she doesn't have much affection for the people in the General's Mansion. If they attack her, it's like attacking the General's Mansion. If the General's Mansion is disheartened, what they might do is no small matter.
The Empress Dowager and Consort Hua are in cahoots, plotting for the Third Prince. They would never leave such an obvious handle; the problem lies with this bracelet.
A destined owner?
Is he planning to kill himself?
On my way here, I examined this bracelet carefully and found nothing unusual. Perhaps the Fifth Prince of Chen could see through its difference.
"Miss Chen, you certainly have extraordinary courage." As she spoke, she glanced intentionally at the two maids beside her.
Chen Siyuan smiled slightly, "My people naturally care about my life."
"snort--"
It feels very uncomfortable inside the centrifuge.
This was clearly an opportunity to ask for help, but the person remained calm as if nothing had happened.
Did she think he was lying to her?
"I think many people are waiting for me to die, but they may not live to see me die of old age!"
A hint of amazement flashed across Ruoli's eyes.
He knew everything about women, and then a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.
"Since Ruoli has figured it out, there must be a solution. Tell me about it."
"Is this how you beg for help?" The fifth prince of Chen raised an eyebrow.
"Ruoli just said she was repaying a favor to me, isn't that what you're referring to?" Chen Siyuan retorted.
Ruoli was rendered speechless by the blockade, and finally pulled out a handkerchief and threw it in front of Chen Siyuan.
Chen Siyuan didn't mind. She carefully laid the handkerchief flat and then took off her bracelet and placed it on the handkerchief.
